I am both an author and a minister who officiates weddings and commitment ceremonies. When I was writing my newest book Love Poems I realized when I wrote this poem that it (and many others in the book) would work well as a reading in a wedding or and commitment ceremony. I invite wedding officiants and couples planning their special day to find in this sweet little book a rich source of readings to incorporate in their unique service. And please, write and tell me which ones you chose; I’d love to hear about how the poem or poems worked with your service!
